Pixies - Gigantic Live at Pasadena Daydream Festival
At the Pasadena Daydream Festival on August 31, 2019, the Pixies were riding high on the wave of renewed energy after their 2016 album, "Head Carrier." This marked a period of revival for the band, as they transitioned back into the spotlight following their initial breakup in the 90s. Notably, "Head Carrier" was a significant achievement, debuting at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and maintaining their signature sound while exploring fresh territories. The live performance that day captured the essence of their enduring appeal—with tracks like "Gigantic," a fan favorite showcasing Kim Deal’s unparalleled vocal prowess, stirring nostalgia for long-time fans while inviting new listeners into their eclectic universe. Interestingly, the festival set was also a testament to their wish to bridge generations, performing alongside newer artists in a vibrant atmosphere that encapsulated both old and new indie rock. It was a reminder that the Pixies, after all these years, still know how to deliver an electrifying live show.
